pilotdave69 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Hey everyone, last Tuesday I have finally completed my X Country endorsement.. CFI asked me to plan YBTH, Burraga, Cowra, parkes and back home! Weather was , not the best, wind was about 12 knots at 270.. cloud was approx 6000 ft. Anyway.. i prepped the Jab230, fuelled up, all my nav charts, ersa, all the usual! Took off approx 12pm, heading south to Burraga, only 33 nm , then a turn to the west to Cowra, 2 landings in Cowra with a 30 min break, which wasnt too bad, break it up! Then it was tracking direct Parkes, CFI says when im abeam Gooloogong, head for home. A forced landing done near blayney and then back to YBTH.. Very happy to have this done.. Sitting on 156 hrs total now! Now where can I have my 1st flight away! Dave 2
facthunter Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Getting a bit of time up. Sounds like a good check out. Good planning is the go with Navigation. even experienced pilots make it untidy if they don't do it well at the planning stage. Have fun. Nev
Piet Fil Posted January 28, 2012 Posted January 28, 2012 Well done Dave, Must be a good feeling to have passed it. I'm only 4 hrs into my X-C endo but enjoying it all, particularly the planning phase. Cool toys to play with, love my e6b Phil
